Prior to founding ChainSolid Labs, I was the Head of DeFi Research at Polygon. I am a honorary research fellow at Gillmore Centre for Financial Technology.
At Polygon, I led the R&D and incubation of innovative blockchain primitives and co-authored the whitepaper of Polygon 2.0. I have authored multiple papers on the topics of zero knowledge proofs, privacy, novel design and risk assessment of DeFi protocols and crypto economics.
I am an active advisor and speaker in the blockchain community, and has served as a technical advisor for several blockchain startups. I have worked in quantitative roles in traditional finance firms like JPMorgan Chase and ICICI bank. I started my career as a computational fluid dynamics engineer at Ansys.
I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Warwick, an MA in economics from the Delhi School of Economics, and a Bachelor of Technology from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur.
